Miracles and the Sons of Sceva

11

And God wrought no small miracles by the handes of Paul,

12

So that from his body were brought vnto the sicke, kerchefs or handkerchefs, and the diseases departed from them, and the euill spirits went out of them.

13

Then certaine of the vagabond Iewes, exorcistes, tooke in hand to name ouer them which had euil spirits, the Name of the Lord Iesus, saying, We adiure you by Iesus, whom Paul preacheth.

14

(And there were certaine sonnes of Sceua a Iewe, the Priest, about seuen which did this)

15

And the euil spirit answered, and said, Iesus I acknowledge, and Paul I know: but who are ye?

16

And the man in whome the euil spirit was, ranne on them, and ouercame them, and preuailed against them, so that they fledde out of that house, naked, and wounded.

17

And this was knowen to all the Iewes and Grecians also, which dwelt at Ephesus, and feare came on them all, and the Name of the Lord Iesus was magnified,

18

And many that beleeued, came and confessed, and shewed their workes.

19

Many also of them which vsed curious artes, brought their bookes, and burned them before all men: and they counted the price of them, and found it fiftie thousand pieces of siluer.

20

So the worde of God grewe mightily, and preuailed.
